Answer:

20

Explanation:

Hint: Use the Pythagorean Theorem
———————————————————
We’ll just listen to what the hint says

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a = 16 b = 12 and c = radius

16^2 + 12^2 = c^2

256 + 144 = c^2

c^2 = 400

square root 400

sqrt rt 400 = 20

The radius of the semicircle is 20
